The leader of the little known organization, “Ghanaians Abroad Coalition” (GAC), has appealed to the government of Ghana to grant the Non-Profit and Non-Political "PATRIOTIC" Organization, police powers to collect "GHANAIANS ABROAD INCOME TAXES”, if parliament approves his proposed tax bill, which will compel Ghanaians living abroad and dual citizens to pay compulsory income tax to Ghana.
Kwame "Mayor” Appiah Boateng, the 2004 CPP Parliamentary Candidate for Nhyiaeso Constituency in Kumasi, Ashanti Region, has proposed jail terms for citizens who refuse to pay his proposed tax.
“The Ghanaians Abroad Private Tax Bill seeks fines and penalties against any Ghanaian or Dual Citizen living abroad who fail or refuses to pay and in extreme cases, liens would be levied against properties of defaulters and possible jail term imposed on Ghanaians living abroad who knowingly and willingly refuse to pay their tax obligation to Ghana - upon their return to the Motherland”, he said The "COMPULSORY GHANAIANS ABROAD INCOME TAX", a flat tax of $10/year or a progressive tax of $10, $50, $100.00 or more a year, based on one's income, is to be used for Ghana's development efforts under strict accountability measures. The Private Bill was publicly submitted to parliament electronically on December 02, 2006 (via) e-mail with copies to the parliamentary clerk, the Speaker of Parliament; Majority and Minority leaders.” According to Mr. Appiah, "GAC will in the future, when the Private Tax Bill is passed, purchase advertising space in leading Ghanaian News Media […] and publish the names of Ghanaians Abroad who fail or [refuse] to pay the "Ghanaians Abroad Tax"”, Appiah said. “My organization is ready and willing to work with the Leaders of all Ghanaian Associations and Cultural associations around the World and Ghanaian Pastors, Imams or Rabbis, etc to collect "Ghanaians Abroad Taxes for Motherland Ghana" in a formula whereby these organizations will keep 25 % for their services in collecting the tax to be used for the benefit of their members and 70 % to Ghana's Internal Revenue Service and 5 % to be donated to "Ghanaians Abroad PENSION FUND in Ghana - for the benefit of Ghanaians or Dual Citizens who decide to retire someday in Ghana", he continued. The former Ghanaian-American Los Angeles Mayoral is also pleading with developed or advanced Nations such as the United States of America, Britain, Germany, Canada and France, etc, where many Ghanaians live and work to grant them and other African immigrants a "BRAIN DRAIN TAX RELIEF” to be used as their tax contributions to their Native Countries towards "SELF HELP DEVELOPMENT" efforts. He is also “pleading with the United States' Congress and Internal Revenue Service to embark on a BOLD EXPERIMENT to grant Ghanaian and Ghanaian-American workers (as well as other African Nationals in USA) a percentage ("BRAIN DRAIN TAX WRITE OFFS") to reduce their tax burden in USA (and that such a "percentage tax write off" could be collected and forwarded [directly] to Ghana's Internal Revenue Service to be credited into the Individual's account under an arrangement whereby the U.S. Internal Revenue Service will charge an Administrative Fee for collecting the Tax Obligation on behalf of Ghana, other African and International Countries “. contact: Kwame "Mayor” Appiah Boateng ate the email address: KwameMayor@Yahoo.Com
